KSI fans are basically Ramsey fans at the end of the day.

A lot of money. No talent.

No.


I can confirm.

As a former amateur boxer we used to have to wear head gear, then the medical board (thankfully) decided that head guards can actually increase head damage and it makes your head a bigger target.

So now they've gone from 10oz gloves to 12oz gloves and removed the head gear.

Joshua-Wilder bout "looks impossible"

"As it goes right now, he's [Whyte] the favourite, because Wilder won't communicate with us, or his team," Hearn said.

"At the moment, that [Wilder] fight looks impossible, because how can we get it made, if they won't reply?"


As expected, Wilder running

Translation -

"At the moment Whyte is the favourite because we already know Joshua can beat him".

Khan down vs Vargas, holy f**k we have a boxing match


Khan really has a glass chin though


Edit: Vargas goes down now in 3rd round.
3 KOs in 3 rounds, good fight.

Good fight up until round 6.

State of Vargas' nose.

'Brook or Pacquiao?'

Amir Khan is asked if he could have beaten domestic rival Kell Brook tonight as Brook watches on: "100%. I wanted to get my feet wet tonight and I did
that. Bring on who you want.

"Manny Pacquiao is an amazing name in boxing. Who wants to see the Pacquiao fight? Who wants the Brook fight?

"147lbs is my division. I will take some time off, speak with Eddie Hearn and go from there. I want to fight again before the end of the year. I needed this kind of fight badly and I needed those 12 rounds."

Amir Khan continues to touch on who he would like his next opponent to be?

"The only fight that works for me over Kell Brook is Manny Pacquiao. I want him, he is my number one pick. If not we go back to the drawing board and if it's Kell Brook it's Kell Brook."


Pacquiao v Khan is the fight the world wants to see.

No idea who Kell Brook is and he isnt important

No one wants to see Khan vs a 40 year old Pacquiao 10 years past his prime.

Khan doesn't look in great shape.
